Hi guys,

When it comes to texturing in 3ds Max, I'm no expert. So can anyone help me explain how to remove the noise from the wooden flooring?
I'm using an Arch & Design material with a map in the Diffuse, Reflection Colour, and Bump channels.
Reflectivity: 0.5
Glossiness: 0.5
Glossy Samples: 32
Bump: 0.2

I know it's a low resolution render, but even at a higher resolution there isn't much difference - please help

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, how do increase the reflection samples in an Arch & Design material?
I cannot find this setting

you seem to have noise all over the place, so I think it's your render settings.

Is there anything that I can change in my render settings to stop this noise?

Sorry for the late reply. I have attached a screen shot if that's any good? Does this help?

It's hard to tell from the resolution of the image - It could be a sampling issue - or perhaps a problem with the bump map?

Sorry about that I have attached a better resolution image.
Do you think I need to tweak Final Gather settings too?

I meant the render is hard to see. You should tackle this by a process of elimination. Try hiding all but a few objects, perhaps even the walls and then adjust settings one at a time and doing test renders until you find the culprit.

It could still be an antialiasing sampling issue - you can render a small region that shows the problem area and then can up your settings until you get the desired result without long render times.


Also try switching your bump off, what is the result? From the low res image, it looks like you have no problem with te reflective work top.

Thank you! I shall give that a go and let you know the outcome.

I must be the only one that can't see any render in your posts.

Huh... that is quite odd. Your render settings seem fine to me and there's nothing particularly wrong with the shader settings either.

Hard to guess this one... i'd maybe look at the light settings or maybe you're using camera Multi-pass Depth of Field?

Sorry Dillster I had ro remove it as I have limited space - but I have now uploaded it again!

DanHibiki - I'm not using Multi-pass or DOF. What do you mean by light settings? Anything in particular?

Thanks in advance

After using the process of elimination technique, it turns out it's the bump map causing this issue? Does this mean my map is low resolution? Strange as my maps is over 5MB!
Any suggestions?
